I'm taking a break from posting. It doesn't mean that I'm not going to post at all, but I won't be a regular presence here until 1.7.
Why? I've noticed that when you're frustrated with the game, you can no longer post constructively. I'm not a Forum Troll or a QQer, I want to use these Forums for their intended purpose and I'm finding too difficult to do so without turning my positive posting into a QQ about what's about to happen to my weapon.
In other words, I'm "giving time" to CCP to release the new content and understand that they completely messed up my weapon, negating its purpose on the battlefield (at least the Laser Rifle will definitely get some love, as CCP confirmed it).
I seize the chance to remind you that, contrarily to what some people think, the AR is about to be buffed, not nerfed, as its optimal range will be extended from 42m to 48m at PRO tier, while leaving the Burst AR basically unchanged (51m -> 50m ADV; 53m -> 54m PRO) and nerfing the Tactical AR (62m -> 55m ADV; 65m -> 60m PRO).
As you can easily understand, all the AR's are going to have comparable ranges (48-54-60), leaving absolutely no reason to use any AR variant outside of the basic model. The Burst and the Tactical AR also have a significantly lower DPS compared to their counterparts, Combat and Scrambler rifles, even though they are Blaster tech, and the Assault versions of the Combat, Scrambler and Rail rifles are going to outrange and outdamage the Burst and the Tactical AR's. The Breach AR will be buffed to the same optimal range of the Standard AR, which is interesting, but the normal AR is still a better choice, of course.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that CCP will be looking at this completely flawed weapon design without any pressure so, as soon as 1.7 is released, I will start a massive battle on the Forums to rebalance all the AR variants, since all the other rifles have decent variants except the AR. When people say that variants are supposed to be weaker, which is not true, because they already are much more expensive both ISK and SP wise, they forget that the ASCR is a very solid weapon and the numbers suggest that the Assault Combat Rifle and the Assault Rail Rifle are going to be extremely good weapons.
I'm reserving some of my arguments and data for 1.7. CCP seem to listen to rants and QQ rather than solid posting with numbers and logic, so I don't know if they are ever going to listen to me.
People complained about the Tactical AR having more range than the Scrambler, which already was a superior gun in terms of accuracy, ROF, DPS, charge mechanic, etc... (Thanks to these people, really really thank you: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1009163#post1009163) What CCP did? They buffed the Scrambler's range from 48 to 78m without, AND they nerfed the Tactical AR's range! Did they give some rebalance to the Tac AR to compensate this losses? No, they buffed the AR's range instead!
CCP randomly destroy our favorite weapons, promoting FOTM chasing and they constantly let us down, forcing us to use stuff we don't really enjoy only to stay competitve.
Now, I will spec in both Rail Rifle and Scrambler Rifle. Is this right to you? Is this right that I have to say goodbye to an already gimped, underused, niche weapon because they randomly decide to s***w it even more without ant logic reason!?
This is all.
I might be posting if I see some nice thread I want to support, but for the rest I'll be out and I will come back in 1.7 to have my weapon back.
Au revoir, Forum Warriors.

Best of wishes Keri Starlight
I'm sad because I'm gonna have to put down my Burst AR as it won't be viable. Heck most of the things I hold near and dear to me are no longer going to be viable *cough* *cough* Swarm Launchers.
Better get used to that SCR Rifle, that or train yourself with that Combat Rifle

I will be trying out the Rail Rifles, see how it compares to the Scrambler when they come out, i was first a Tac user back in chromo but couldnt ever get it to work, then they upped the Tac, i used it again and hen the flood came.
So i moved to the Scrambler and now this one is getting flooded at a rapid pacing.
I am gonna need a Niche long range weapon soon that only i can deploy properly at cqc ranges if this keeps up, but yeah at least my Scrambler hasnt been nerfed so far, but seeing how much QQ is going on about it at times, i wonder whats gonna happen in 1.7.
Cya around Keri, i took a 2 month break when i had to dodge 6 lavs to try and kill 1 infantry guy...back then Murder Taxi High was all the goto stuff.

Or she could like ask,
Whats going through your brain right now?
and then when he's about to answer, pull a headshot with the Tac...
In some way, the final thing going through his mind would be the Tactical Ar :p

I can dig it. When you're a little frustrated, the forums can be (at least 75 percent of the time) a place where that frustration is nurtured and grown. I've seen it happen before, even with myself at my moments of frustration.
But you say you will keep fighting in New Eden, that's the good news. Gotta see some Starlight in the CH comm channel from time to time. I know my Caldari brethren has a good soldier for the State when I do.

Honestly, even with the buff, the AR is going to be heavily overshadowed by the new rifles. I already find the SCR an order of magintude better than my duvolle, and I stopped using my duvolle months ago. Now with a 30m range buff?
And the combat rifle looks like a monster, and the rail rifle is basically an AR with much more range, and an 0.2 seconds spool up time (oooh! scary! -_- )

I really don't understand this mentality (I've heard it expressed many times). 1.7 is going to bring some cool stuff, but it's going to take a few months to get all of the new content balanced, plus handling the TTK issues. We don't have a test server, so we're balancing on tranquillity after release (see my sig for how this could be improved).

Maybe I am missing the point. Is this a "Please buff the AR" post? Really? Everyone one else on these forums (non-AR users) are yelling "HD fixes made AR OP" (and if we are honest with ourselves, all other weapons that were buffed to compensate for previous bad HD, not to mention a whole whack of nerfs to various things to pretend HD was better than it was).
I don't understand the AR community. It's like a constant theme of "Please make easy mode easier!"
I don't mean to be rude, I don't. And I am not meaning to troll. I am just as equally frustrated with this build, but apparently for the exact opposite reasons as the Op. |

.....
I though it was clear that I don't like the AR buff in 1.7. I rarely use the AR, I dislike it.
I'm asking for the Breach, the Burst, the Tactical and the Laser Rifle (it's confirmed, the Laser will be buffed) to be buffed.
I thought it was clear... maybe I didn't explain myself well enough. In this case, my apologies.
